Update Ampps php version from 7.1.2 to 7.1.8 - php-7.1

I am running Ampps 4.9.3 on Mac, and I am trying to install Laravel 5.6, which has a dependency on PHP 7.1.3. The latest version of Ampps says it supports 7.1.8, but I can't figure out how to change it from 7.1.2. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious, thanks for your help!

As #IgnazioC said, you can replace the contents of the relevant php version with a new one. You can grab the latest PHP 7.1 windows builds from https://windows.php.net/download#php-7.1
Make sure you download the VC14 x86 Thread Safe build, because this is what Ampps uses. You can also download newer versions of ionCube, XDebug and Opcache, but this isn't usually required.

Apache version upgrade issue

At present we are on Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX) version. To fix the vulnerabilities we are suggested to upgrade to new version. I got new version from online using "wget" command and followed steps mentioned on this link http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/install.html#download.
Once I am done, checked version using httpd -v. It gives me old version Apache/2.2.15 (UNIX). If I check using /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd - v. It gives me new version. Did I successfully upgraded the version or not? If not what should I do?
I tried "yum install httpd" - It says "Nothing to do".
You now have two versions of Apache installed. You have the one installed with the system package manager (yum) in /usr/sbin/httpd. You have one installed manually in /usr/local/apache2/....
Which one you get will be determined entirely by which path you use.
In general, mixing system-managed packages with manually installed packages is a recipe for trouble. If you want to stick with the newer version in /usr/local, you should remove the system version, and realize that you will lose some manageability. For example, you will no longer be able to use yum install ... to install new Apache modules, and you will not be able to verify the installed files using tools like rpmverify.
If your distribution currently has Apache 2.2.x, that suggests your distribution is fairly old. For example, RHEL (and CentOS) 7 (and similar variants) have version 2.4.6 packaged, so you may want to update your host to something newer than whatever you're running now.
Yes, its successfully upgraded as per the screenshot.
httpd 2.2.15 is the version with RHEL 6 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /etc/httpd (Highest version provided for HTTPD via RPM RHEL 6 is 2.2.15)
httpd 2.4.6 is the version with EPEL-HTTPD24 repository, here HTTPD_HOME is /usr/local/apache2/

In Linux Mint 17.2 (i.e. Ubuntu 14.04), how to make qt 5.4 as the default qt5 library version of programs?

I install the latest qt version from the official website http://www.qt.io/qt5-4/ successfully. I follow this tutorial http://sysads.co.uk/2014/05/install-qt-5-3-ubuntu-14-04 and install the qt 5.4 version. Besides, I have the Ubuntu repository version of qt 5.2.1 installed.
Now I want to make the default version of 5.4 due to a program can't work well in the old qt5 version. That is to say, when I start a program which need to use qt5 library the program will use the version 5.4 rather than the version qt 5.2. Though I have installed the version 5.4 and 5.2, the program still use qt 5.2 version.
I try to use qtchooser to choose the 5.4 version as the default option, however, the program installed in the system still use the qt 5.2 library.
I endeavor to modify the related files regarding qtchooser, nothing changes.
If the library version is not in some regular repository, I would strongly suggest not relying on the user to install it somehow from an "unofficial" install location. Or provide a package for the library version yourself to install alongside your application. But don't replace the system Qt version. That would be Bad®.
Instead, either compile your program with a specific rpath, or wrap your program in scripts that use something like LD_PRELOAD and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to load the library version you're shipping in your application package.
Both ways are clunky, and I would try to at least work around the Qt version bug if at all possible.
The latest Qt version (non-alpha) actually is Qt 5.5.
If you install it through the installer provided by Qt, you should change the default Qt version by editing/creating:
/etc/xdg/qtchooser/default.conf
which should contain first the bin directory, then the lib directory, for example:
/opt/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/bin
/opt/Qt/5.5/gcc_64/lib
At least this works for the qmake version. Otherwise you might need to change LD_LIBRARY_PATH as commented by rubenvb.

Fedora lobpcre.so.0

I'm getting this error when i try to run apache:
./httpd: error while loading shared libraries: libpcre.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
when i do a search for the lib i receive this:
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1
/usr/lib/libpcre.so.1.2.1
/usr/lib/libpcre16.so.0
/usr/lib/libpcre16.so.0.2.1

/usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.0
/usr/lib64/libpcreposix.so.0.0.2
I tried to upgrade my pcre, to get the so.0 :
Package pcre-8.33-11.fc20.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do
I'm out of ideas, hope someone can help.
This error is occurring because the version of Apache that is currently installed was built against an older version of pcre.
First upgrade Apache to the latest version in the Fedora repositories. The latest version should have been built against the newer pcre shared object.
If you can't, or won't upgrade Apache, you can downgrade the pcre package to the first version that contains libpcre.so.0, which is 7.8 I think.
If you need a quick fix and aren't using this web server for anything too serious you may be able to make it work by sym-linking libpcre.so.0 to libpcre.so.1.
lastly, you could rebuild Apache manually, which should use the pcre that is currently installed.

adding Doxygen plugin to qtcreator in linux

I want to add Doxygen plugin to QtCreator.
I am using QtCreator 2.5.2 in ubuntu 12.10 and the latest Doxygen version for QT is 2.4.0.
I've changed the doxygen.pluginspec file to get rid of version error.
But now I've got another error:
can not load library libdoxygen.so (libQtconcurrent.so can not open shared object file:No such file or directory)
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I hope you are no longer stuck, but if not, I will still try to help.
Yes, the quick install binaries are available only for QtCreator 2.4, but the plugin stays easy to install without it : you have to download the sources and build them yourself, as written in the wiki.
Moreover, you have to build it with the same version of Qt4 as the one that was used for build your QtCreator (have a look here)
It became compatible with QtCreator 2.7 and Qt5 at the end of March, and I succeeded in installing in in QtCreator2.8-beta.
If you have any other question, I guess it would be better to ask them in the plugin forum where developpers always answer to people in need.
Hope this helps (you and other people in need).
You can install Doxywizard wich provides an user interface to use Doxygen.
I'm not shure I'm using fedora to install I used.
yum install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64.
For Ubuntu it should be if the package name is the same.
apt-get install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64
(as root)

Ubuntu to install jdk1.6

I was trying to install jdk1.6 onto my Ubuntu 10.04.
However, It looks like jdk1.6 is no longer available in Ubuntu repository(at least, i havent found it yet).
In my case, I need to install jdk1.6 as my java version instead of openjdk.
Could anyone tell me if it still could be found in anywhere?
Thanks.
I suggest installing it manually. Use the following link and use update-alternatives. The instructions are for 1.7 but they work for 1.6. Just get it from sun's site.
https://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7
You can download JDK from java.sun.com and install it yourself. The reason its not included because it needs you to accept their license agreement.
HTH.
